Salty Discussion Post-mortem

Salty, I have to say that I find the continual lack of substance in your replies to be both quite illuminating and irritating, especially when they are in response to questions which you never answer.Now, I am aware that this was not directed at me but since you find the pseudonyms so troubling, my name is XXXXXXXXXXX and my latest degree is a doctorate in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. You can do a search for the papers that I have published, although you will see a very limited number of the last 8 years as I moved to industry and most of my publications here have been in more technical documentation for the FDA or as patents, many of which have not yet issued. I was not putting my name on these posts earlier because my wife is a member of a church which has a few (happily very few) fundies and I did not want them to be giving her grief over me. However, I have decided that open info is better, not to mention that they know me well enough to leave her the hell alone.Now, as to how I feel about Behe, I like some of his DNA work but his IC theories are in error, both from a theoretical point and from the data as well. But I have addressed that elsewhere on this board. Dembski I have little respect for as he uses mathematical procedures that are grossely irrelevant to the question at hand, at least according to some of the mathematical/biological reviews of his ID work that I have read.Feel better now.------------------

Salty, I think that you are mixing part of my post with parts of others. I neither went over your mentality nor your posting on Terry's Board (which I consider to be a bit of a dung heap anyway, Terry is a blind, dishonerable little worm from what I can tell from his posts). I also did not mention you past employment, in fact I was unaware of the conditions for your leaving until I read them on this board.As to Jonathan Wells, I have only read two of his articles. One, if I remember correctly was on ATPase, and I was less than impressed from a biochemical point of view. The other was on Hox genes and I remember drawing exactly the opposite conclusions as Dr. Wells. I have posted my ideas on Behes IC thesis on several spots on this board including Evidence for Evolution (now closed).------------------

Sorry, I had a timer go off and hit sumbit instead of shrinking the window. As to your last statement

quote:

Now if the rest of the members would divulge their identities, we might have a decent exchange of ideas. I don't expect much of a response to this outrageous suggestion.

I really do not see how the exchange of ideas requires the knowledge of a persons identity, it only requires the free exchange of information on the topic at hand.------------------
